CEO Anders Colding Friis said Pandora Clearance Outlet has recently introduced a number of new products in the United States, all of which were well-received. The company is also relying heavily on new promotions, a response to what it considers a promotional environment in the United States.

On the positive side, comp sales at Pandora Rings Sale U.S. concept stores rose an impressive 8 percent—driven, the company said, by better execution. Sales at its U.S. e-store were also strong.

However, the wholesale market in the United States was “a lot more challenging,” Friis said, and sales were weak at multibrand stores. Multibrand stores still represent about a quarter of U.S. revenue.

U.S. sales of Disney World Pandora charms and bracelets were “slightly negative for the quarter,” according to Friis. But he added, “Clearly we are building our new categories in the U.S.… It’s not something we are really worried about.”
